Goldbrick Media system for vBulletin 3.6.x

Thanks to all who nominated or voted this for MOTM.

Some of you might be looking for Anymedia. Well this has replaced it. It's a total rewrite from the ground up. A huge thanks goes to Sir Adrian for creating the framework. He can't cook soup but he sure can code.

Why the name goldbrck?

From Wikipedia:

Goldbricking, in today's terms, generally refers to staff who use their work internet access for personal reasons while maintaining the appearance of working.

From Urban Dictionary:

Goldbricking: To loaf or goof around on the job. Supposedly an old union term describing laborers (or more specifically, bricklayers) who were going so slow, it was as if each brick were made of solid gold. One can alse be referred to as a "goldbricker".

Dude, I spent all day at work goldbricking - surfing the web, making long distance phone calls - basically just picking my ass.

Goldbrick uses the following third party Products:

• Highslide Javascript. I've packaged it with the 3.1 download. Please read the license agreement on highlide's website. In short it's free for non-commercial use. http://vikjavev.no/highslide/
• - - -
• The media player and mp3 player are from http://www.jeroenwijering.com/

There's a uncached template at the Forumdisplay - anymedia_header

Also,how do we create the hooks to make it work in forumhome_complete to show at forumhome?

[basketmen]

i am sory i still dont understand because there is no description


what does this hack do actually??

and please give some forum link for live demo

You post a link from one of the supported media sites and it will go out and get a thumbnail if available and title and pull it into your post. When you click the link it will pop up with the video. It also supports playing most media files and you can host you're own files. Everything from pdf, images to videos are supported.

I don't have a demo site but someone here might post one.

after i test it , i remove it

rm and ram not work

when use wysiwug edetor and edet post with media tag it again show it as text sometimes

the idea of product is perfect but you should fix the bbcode first for usual files and then concern in video sites

[Adam21]

Possible to add www.yourfilehost.com inside the supported sites too?Thanks.

Hi Nix

Hope you're well.

I've been trying to use

[MEDIA]url[/MEDIA]

to try to explain how to use the Media tags.

I have don't parse [MEDIA] inside [CODE] checked in AdminCP but it still parses the Media code.

Any ideas?

You don't need to wrap the url's in media tags. Just paste the link and hit reply. If the site is support it will auto convert it.
